Fender Mustang Micro Headphone Amp 5-stars Reviews

Does what you need it to

Great amp sounds. Easy to connect aux audio. Works with different Jack placements too. Money well spent

Pretty good for a novice as I am. Easy to setup and use, without any extra complicity.

All you need to be alone

Impressive sound quality, this is definitely the best device I've ever got. Obviously you are limited to the combinations you can make from the effects/amps/equalizers, but you have enough to get lots of fun.

Great bit of kit! Takes some experimenting to get the most out of it.

Overall this is a fantastic amp and I use it constantly. I originally bought it as I needed a quiet option for playing guitar so not to disturb my flatmates. Loads of amp settings, they all sound really good and are pretty vastly different from each other! I definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a headphone amp.

My only complaint with it is definitely a nitpick, but I'd like to see slightly more options for gain control, as well as some more effect options. However, as is you can still get some wildly different sounds all of which are awesome!

High quality practice tool

High quality, lightweight headphone amp for fuss free practice.

Easy to pair with smartphone via Bluetooth for easy play-along.

A multitude of amp sounds and effects. For bass the Studio Preamp in standard setting is by far the best sound for me, but it's nice to have options.

great for study

i am using it with a bass guitar so not at its full extent but it is portentous, and sounds very good on decent headphones.

It can receive Bluetooth audio like a background track and allows direct USB recording via a USB-C plug that charges the internal battery.

Easy to upgrade the Firmware, very simple and intuitive interface with few buttons. It uses a color code with its LEDs to indicate its operating status and selected amp simulation model.

A quick reference card explains this code, if you really want to know which amp is which.

I do hope that they could implement a tuner function in the next firmware upgrades: that would be a nice plus.

It is great tool for practising without disturbing others.

Very simple to use. No need to connect to an app and go through 5 different screens that have 50 different knobs each one. Also no need for a computer. Just plug and play.

The sound experience can vary a lot (from really nice to really bad) depending on the headphones and the guitar pickups. I would recommend buying a good pair of headphones if you don't have one.

The 4 clean channels sound very similar. I would prefer 3 clean channels with different tone, and additional crunchy tones.

I feel Fender missed the opportunity to have a tuner built-in.

Even though it is made of plastic it doesn't feel cheap.

For what it is, it's amazing.

A very cool little headphone amp. Some really usable tones and easy to use. Some minor inconvienence to have to refer to the led colour card for settings but it works and is simple.

I only have one negitive with this little amp. It can be quite noisy on some settings. This is not a problem with higher end pickups but the budget friendly pickups will suffer.

A must have for on the go practice.

Amazing for the money

Bought as a birthday present for a friend and they absolutely love it, got them back into playing guitar!

Wow.. Good one from Fender

I highly recommend this if you are a bedroom player and would not like to experiment or invest much on the physical Amps, Pedal boards..etc. This is a good companion for your Guitar leaning journey.

So good!!!

I got this little headphone amp to take with me on the road. It's very portable, USB-C rechargeable (so you don't have to take another cable or batter with you) and all you need to do is plug it into the guitar as well as some headphone, turn it on and you're good to go.

The best surprise was the sound. I'm a rookie to amps, but the quality of the tone blew me away, to the point where I prefer using it for practicing in my bedroom. It's really easy to use, sounds great and has enough options to tinker with the tone.

The USB interface works good, but I had a tiny bit of delay on my setup with my M1 iPad and Amplitube. Not much, but definitely noticable, so probably not ideal for using it to model amps via a computer or iPad. The sound seemed fine otherwise, so probably still good for recording a track at home, with the headphone output to monitor sound.

One thing that would've made this thing even better: I wish it had a built-in tuner. But otherwise, I really like it!

I get my practice in and my family get their beauty sleep!

I play guitar to relax and like nothing more than to get a good hour of blues playing in the evenings. I have a young family and I need to be sensitive to noise, this Fender Mustang Micro Headphone Amp was the answer to my dreams with no noise for my family, no matter what time of day! I get my practice in and my family get their beauty sleep!

Straightforward practice amp with excellent sounds

Useful and well realized piece of gear.

Basic features butt well implemented and above all good sounding amps.

Great and lots of fun for practice.

Amazing practice tool

Lots of presets to choose from - ready to go whenever.

Not a real issue but it's hard trying to identify the cryptic color codes for presets. You need the card that comes with it around - or a pic of it on your phone!

Perfect little plug & play system

It is really easy to use and has a lot of different possibility. I really like it and would buy it again with any doubt

This sounds fantastic

The sound quality is far ahead of what I had expected, even after reading good things about it.

It's not easy to follow which effects and amp models are on from the multi-colour LEDs, but they all sound good (and it's not difficult to just select by ear).

The ability to modify the effects parameters is limited, but again- every setting sounds good.

The bluetooth also works extremely well for playing along with tracks from a phone or PC.

TOTAL COST EFFICIENCY!

Portable, with countless features.

The amps and effects are very nice and it's easy to use.

I bought them in order to train silently.

Get a good pair of headphones!

One of the kind

This device is fantastic and helps you a lot with practicing.

I connect it to my laptop via Bluetooth very easily, I start playing the backing track whether by youtube or by the DAW and directly the sound is transferred to my headset along with the guitar with no latency at all.

Easily I can record my play at the DAW, however, a small latency was mentioned on some occasions.

Recommended with no hesitations to anyone who wants to play whether stand-alone or connected to Laptop/PC

Yes!

Sounds great. Very practical. One of my best guitar related purchases ever.

Good tones at the press of a button

Makes tone selection very easy. It also doubles up as a recording interface using the Ipad and a USB c cable. Very compatible. Good Bluetooth and battery.
